Final Fifteen! The month of FEBRUARY
PHOTOS are IN Thanks !!!
These are of Connie's car.
This car found us about 3 years ago. It was rescued by a guy that worked at the junk yard it had been hauled to. He purchased it before the title was turned in, and he made an attempt at putting it on the road and had plans to restore it. He did not have the Pinto 'know-how' to do much with it, and he did might have done more harm to it than good. He had contacted a good friend of mine asking if he knew of anyone that might want a Pinto and my name came up (some how). It took over three months for the owner to contact me, but he did and we went to look at with the intention of getting another parts car. The car ran, but mechanically that’s all we could tell. During his ownership of it, he seller had lost the keys, busted out a quarter window, ‘popped’ the column, as well as dented it up quite a bit. It had an interesting interior and a few neat options that made Connie fall for it right away. Aside from the window and column, to put it on the road it needed: carb. work, a rear main seal, a steering rack, outer tie-rod ends, brakes and lines, a rear axle, rear springs, a battery, tires, a power steering pump, a radiator, an exhaust system, and a bunch of other things. Once we had it running well, we started in on the ‘looks’. A plethora of NOS parts plus a paint job and here it is.
Thanks,
Bill
